The CD celebrates 43

Hi all,

If you are older than 40 years old you will remember the "Books" we had with all the CDs inside for all kinds of Programs, OS, Drivers etc.

I still remember that I had one Book that weighted approx. 6 Pounds and was my "Survival Kit" for all kinds of problems, mostly drivers for every printer/scanner on the planet and was always in my bag "ready for action".

I had another 2 CD Books with my music collection for my DJ side work and these weighted more but it's another story.

Too bad, since their wildcard certificates were pretty cheap. Will have to change to GoDaddy or try migrating some services to using DNS-01 challenge.

Smallish non-critical wireless renew

New job and been tasked with a low priority project to renew or expand the existing wireless infra. Currently there is a bunch of LANCOM APs (German network gear manufacturer).

About 25 APs with one main site (20 APs ) and 2 small other branches (2-4 APs ). On-Prem is a hard requirment. 90% of workplaces have a wired connection and from what I gather, wireless is used for meetings or guests.

Nothing fancy is required. 2-3 SSIDs with a bit of guest network stuff.

While I have no clear budget, cost is of medium importance.

Currently Ubiquiti seems like the obvious winner here since I can do on Prem with their network control server and their APs are so much cheaper than the rest. I looked at Cisco but if I need a Cisco C9800 (Meraki is out because Cloud) and will be much much more expensive than Ubiquiti. LANCOM is less expensive then Cisco but still more expensive and their management is just super clunky.

Am I missing something here?

Moving RDS farm to new IPS

Hi All.

Disclaimer: I am googling this as well but haven't found a specific answer yet.

We are having to move some VM's from one hosting location to another. unfortunately for us the IP range they are on now is already being used for something else in the new location, so we have to give them new IP's in the process. Mostly this is fine.

One of the next things to move is a 2 VM's RemoteDesktopServices farm where one of them is also the gateway etc, and also 1 NPS server that the RDS talks to for MFA via Azure.

Has anyone done this, and do you happen to know of any major Gotcha's to watch out for when doing this?

Thankfully there is a plan B if it doesn't work, but ideally we just change the IP's and move them to their new home.

Thanks in advance for any advice and tips.

Centralized VDI / Virtual Workstation Setup for 3D Modeling & CNC – Need Advic


Hey folks,

I work in a small company where every worker currently has their own desktop PC. Right now, we have:
• 5 workstations for 3D modeling (programs that need good GPUs)
• 2 workstations for CNC workers (they process codes that need good CPUs)

We are planning to double this setup as we expand.

Instead of continuing to buy individual high-end PCs, I’m looking into whether we can:
• Have one or more central servers powerful enough to run multiple VMs / virtual desktops
• Each VM would act as the user’s workstation
• Users would connect from thin clients or lower-end PCs
• Needs to handle heavy GPU workloads (3D modeling) and CPU-heavy tasks (CNC code processing)

Basically a VDI setup but for high-performance workloads, not just office tasks.

Questions:

How to achieve this ? Cause i think that it is achievable just I cont know !

NOTE : its my first time VDI and things like this dont have any idea !

Any advice from people who’ve done VDI for CAD / 3D modeling / CNC would be super helpful.

Thanks!

Built a small tool to save me hours curious if others do this

I threw together a little automation recently to streamline one of those repetitive admin chores that no one loves doing. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s already saved me a ton of time.

I’m curious what’s the smallest script, workflow, or tweak you’ve made that ended up being a huge quality‑of‑life upgrade?

Help upgrading to Windows 11 Pro at my school

I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this, but I'd really appreciate any help you can give, even if that's just pointing me toward the right sub.

I'm an English teacher at a small high school. Since we can't afford to hire an actual Sysadmin or IT person, they've asked me to be the "tech coordinator" this year since I'm "good with computers," but I've got no background in tech whatsoever...

The math dept. recently ordered what they thought were 30 new Chromebooks, but it turned out they're PCs with Windows 11 Home on them. We need them to have Pro so they can be added to our domain.

We do not have an established relationship with any Microsoft partner/reseller as far as I know, and I've tried contacting Microsoft partners on the MS website, but they're all saying they don't do one-off sales.

So my question is: Where can I buy a volume license for Windows 11 Pro to upgrade these PCs? Is that even an option for such a small number? Or do we have to start a relationship with a MS partner/reseller? Do we just have to bite the bullet and buy a bunch of single licenses? Or should we just return them?

Again, I appreciate any help you can give. I'm in way over my head.

Share SMB to computer but not user

Is it possible to share an SMB so that scripts running as NT System for domain computer objects have access, but a non admin domain user who logs onto the PC does not have access?

I'm going to try on Monday the obvious set the user permissions to deny and set the computer permissions to allow, but wanted to post in case someone has done this

Edit: for context, I've inherited a system with an SMB that had everyone read/write including generic public use accounts. I've already set the generic accounts to read only, but I was looking at cleaning this setup up further

BackOff pod/nginx-prod Back-off restarting failed container
46m Warning Failed pod/nginx-prod Error: OOMKilled

✅ Found your problem: nginx-prod is getting killed for using too much memory
💡 Try: kubectl describe pod nginx-prod -n default


# For the "juniors won't learn" concern:

$ ask "show memory usage" --learn

📚 Command Breakdown:
free -h

• free - Display memory usage statistics
• -h - Human readable format (GB/MB instead of bytes)

💡 Related concepts:
• Virtual vs Physical memory
• Buffer/cache vs actually used memory
• When to worry about memory pressure

📖 Want to learn more? Try: man free


# What makes this different from "just use ChatGPT":

* **Actually local** \- works in air-gapped/secure environments where external AI is blocked
* **Curated commands** \- no hallucinations, just vetted syntax patterns
* **Instant response** \- no API calls, sub-second results
* **Context aware** \- understands your environment and suggests appropriate flags
* **Educational** \- designed to teach, not just execute

# I built a quick demo page: [praxis.hezico.com](https://praxis.hezico.com/)

Shows the full flow with a realistic 3AM incident scenario.

# The honest questions I still have:

1. **Would you actually use this?** Or is the learning curve of a new tool not worth it?
2. **Security teams**: Would you approve a local-only tool vs external AI assistants?
3. **For complex environments**: How important is customization vs out-of-the-box commands?
4. **Pricing model**: One-time purchase, subscription, or freemium?

# What I'm building next:

* **Alpha version** with 100+ common DevOps command patterns
* **Custom command support** \- add your own organization's specific commands
* **Audit logging** \- everything gets logged for security/compliance
* **Plugin system** \- extend with your own command databases

If you want to try the alpha: [praxis.hezico.com](https://praxis.hezico.com/)

Looking for 50-100 DevOps/SRE folks who deal with this pain daily and want to test it in real environments.

**TL;DR**: Took your feedback seriously. Built confirmation prompts, explanations, educational mode, and local-only processing. Still think it's stupid? Let me know why.

*Thanks to everyone who gave honest feedback on the original post. This is way better because of your input.*

UPDATE: 24 hours later - built the terminal assistant you told me to build

Hey r/sysadmin!

Yesterday I asked about building a local terminal tool for plain English commands. You gave me brutal (helpful) feedback. Today I have a working demo.

# What you demanded, what I built:

"Don't auto-execute, show me the command first" → Done
"Explain what each part does so people learn" → Added --learn mode
"Make it actually local, not another ChatGPT wrapper" → Curated command database
"Prove it works with a real example" → Live demo at praxis.hezico.com

# Here's what 24 hours of coding looks like:

Built a visual terminal demo showing exactly how this would work - you're troubleshooting a container that keeps crashing at 3AM.

The animated walkthrough shows:

Plain English: "which container keeps restarting and why"
Tool analyzes and suggests kubectl diagnostic commands
Safety prompt: "Execute this safe, read-only diagnostic plan? \[y/N\]"
Shows realistic output finding the OOMKilled container
Demonstrates the --learn command that explains syntax
Shows the business value (faster resolution, air-gap friendly, etc.)

# The visual demo: praxis.hezico.com

60-second terminal animation showing the complete incident workflow and how the confirmation/explanation system works.

# What I learned from your feedback:

1. Security concerns are real \- so everything is read-only diagnostics first
2. Learning curve matters \- so there's explicit explanation mode
3. Trust is earned \- so I show exactly what commands run and why
4. Context matters \- so it suggests logical diagnostic approaches

# Current status:

✅ Working visual demo showing the interaction model
✅ Waitlist to gauge interest and validate demand
🔄 Building the actual CLI tool based on this design
🔄 Adding more command patterns (Docker, systemd, networking, etc.)

# Still want your input:

1. Watch the demo \- does this interaction model make sense?
2. What command scenarios should I prioritize? (Docker debugging? Log analysis?)
3. Would your security team approve this approach vs external AI tools?

If this resonates: praxis.hezico.com \- join the waitlist to stay updated on development

Thanks for the reality check yesterday. This concept is way better because you told me what was broken.

I have read about this topic and only found post on the Internet where people try to share the same folder via nfs and smb from one system.

My question is can I have a central storage exposing nfs mounts and mount them on different linux boxes (all via nfs) and then share them from there with smb in different scurity levels (smb1,smb2,smb3) depending on client.

Storage <-nfs->proxys<-smb->clients

Troubleshooting - What makes a good troubleshooter?

I've seen a lot of posts where people express frustration with other techs who don't know troubleshooting basics like checking Event Viewer or reading forum posts. It's clear there's a baseline of skill expected. This got me thinking: what, in your opinion, is the real difference between someone who is just 'good' at troubleshooting and someone who is truly 'great' at it? What are the skills, habits, or mindsets that separate them?

Trying to get Adobe to remove a malicious file from their cloud platform is like trying to get blood from a stone. Help!

A client of ours has been sent an e-mail with a link to a malicious hosted adobe document due to one of their suppliers being hit recently.


The hosted document then links to a phishing site. I'm trying to work with Adobe to get the file removed but it's like getting blood from stone trying to get their support to do anything remotely useful. Refusing to do anything as we don't have an active licensed account. I'd have thought they'd want to know if they were hosting malicious files but evidentially not! Last message was "ask the bad guy to stop sharing the file".

Useful.


If anyone has any tips to get them to actually remove the file it would be gratefully appreciated.

Do you have an LB for DNS pointing to ADDS servers?

Hi. My friend and I are discussing servers having their primary and secondary DNS settings on NICs point to Load Balancers at two different locations for site resiliency. I think its pretty common, just dont try to LB ADDS itself, just the DNS. He says nobody does that and everyone sets to servers directly which of course im fully aware of and is standard stuff. My question is who amongst us sets their Windows servers to use DNS from sets of LBs fronting ADDS servers?

Whats your experience like?

Outlook PWA - user deletes email on "touch"

Outlook PWA - I'm the user and the Outlook system administrator. When I touch an email in the computer's touchscreen sometimes the email is deleted. I don't see any Option or any other way to detect why this happens. I can go to deleted items and reinstate the email into the Inbox, but this is annoying. As far as I know a touchscreen registers a touch like a mouse click. Clicking on an email should not send it to the deleted items folder, correct? Not seeing any pre-made rule or anything else logically causing this to happen.

DNS issue- Update issues, IP conflicts etc

Good day, this is the issue I am currently facing.
We have 3 DCs, and 5 DHCP servers in 5 different areas of the country.
Previously we had 5 RODCs in these 5 areas, which were then replaced with the DHCP servers.

We notice that the DNS isn't always being updated by the DHCP servers, but I am not sure what updates the DNS, when the updates actually do happen.

Should I add the DHCP servers to the Security tab of the DNS, with read/write access? Or should I create a AD user with admin access to perform the DHCP to DNS update? This would be configured on the DHCP server.

Please note that we also get some 'BAD_ADDRESS" in the DHCP servers, which is most likely caused by IP conflicts.

Please advise on the best way forward.

Thank you.

"Add RD Session Host Server" failing installation.

Trying to add a couple more session hosts to one of our terminal server farms.
They add to the Connection Broker in ServerManager no issue under dashboards, but when I go to Remote Desktop Services>Overview, and then click "Add RD Session Host servers", and then attempt to add the 2 new servers, the installation fails.


Heres what I get.
https://imgur.com/a/RebFdrL

I've dived into the event viewer logs on both and haven't found anything. Checked under System, Application as well as all the Remote Desktop event folders.
I've stripped GPO from the new session hosts.
I've ensured I was logged in as my Domain Admin account when processing and ensured it has admin access on the new session hosts.

Where can I start looking for these events? Just so I can at least get an idea of whats going on?

Thanks for any insight.

Git commands freezing for 2-10 seconds on Windows - identified as Defender behavioral analysis

TL;DR: Git commands like git diff, git log, and git show freeze for 2-10 seconds on Windows. It's Microsoft Defender Antivirus analyzing how Git spawns its pager (not scanning files - that's why exclusions don't help). After the analysis, the same command runs instantly for about 30-60 seconds, then slow again. Was consistently 10 seconds in the last few days until today, Sunday, now seeing \~2 seconds.

Originally posted with more details on troubleshooting on r/git, with an updated version on r/programming here.

# The Problem

`git diff` freezes for several seconds before showing anything
Running it again immediately: instant
Wait a minute and run it again: slow again
But git diff | less is ALWAYS instant

This affects Python subprocess calls too:

proc = subprocess.Popen('less', '-FR', stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
# First run: 2-10 second delay
# Subsequent runs within ~60s: instant

# What's Actually Happening

Microsoft Defender's behavioral analysis examines the process spawning pattern when Git (or Python) creates a child process with pipes/PTY. It's analyzing HOW processes interact, not scanning files.

The delay was consistently 10 seconds (matching Defender's cloud block timeout) in the last couple of days until today, Sunday. Now seeing \~2 seconds, looks like actual cloud analysis completing rather than timing out.

# Test It Yourself

$ sleep 35; time git diff; sleep 20; time git diff; sleep 35; time git diff

real 0m2.195s # Was 10+ seconds before today
real 0m0.114s # Cached
real 0m2.204s # Cache expired

# Solutions

# 1. Disable Pager for Specific Commands

git config --global pager.diff false

# 2. Shell Functions for Developers

alias glog='git log --color=always | less -R'

# 3. Note About Exclusions

File/folder/process exclusions in Defender don't help - this is behavioral analysis, not file scanning. Even disabling real-time protection doesn't consistently fix it.

# Impact

This affects:

All Git operations with pagers
Python scripts using subprocess with pipes
Any tool spawning processes with PTY emulation
PowerShell is also affected (not just Git Bash)

Reproduced on different terminals: Windows Terminal, MinTTY, Cmder, Wezterm.

Environment: Windows 10/11, Git for Windows, Microsoft Defender Antivirus

Looking for sysprep software

I am building a rather simple RDS env. But I want to be able to keep updating a couple of images. When I patch it or update or install software.

Now, standard with windows you can only generalize an OS 3 times.

I cant help but think that there must be software out there that can bypass this. For exmaple with citrix you can update images forever. But, we dont have citrix.

Does anyone have any ‘trick’ or software for this?

What are the hot job hunting boards these days? Looking for remote infrastructure / systems engineer roles.

I haven't done job hunting in close to 8 years and I'm sure things have changed.

I currently am a Senior Systems Engineer, I manage all aspects of our infrastructure. The networking, our VPN tunnels and remote access client, the Microsoft tenant, Defender, Intune, Exchange. Cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, things like Azure VDI environment, virtual servers and appliances, managing the VNets and security/routing for them. Our security and vulnerability management scanning. Resource monitoring, log retention. I write power shell scripts all the time either for information gathering, report building, or automation. Integrations with 3rd party platforms.

Basically everything except actual programming and DevOps stuff, and I don't really work with databases, not super familiar with the internals of things like SQL.

I feel like I've reached a salary cap at my current employer and as much as I love the job, environment, and management, I need to be able to start getting ahead financially. I live in a high cost of living area, which I'd prefer not to leave for various reasons, so increasing my income is the other solution.

I'm hoping to find job boards that are geared more toward remote work. I've been looking through Indeed, the last place I recall using, and there's not a whole lot of remote jobs there and 90% of the listings show "pay information not available" which probably means they're indirectly telling me to not bother anyway.

Any way to keep using the old OneNote for Windows 10 after October 14th?

My organisation needs me to use the old OneNote for Windows 10 and it needs to keep syncing to the cloud, but Microsoft is removing support for it and making it read-only after October 14th. Is there any way I'd be able to keep using the old one after the change? I have done some research and it seems I probably wont be able to suppress updates to the app, as it would likely still stop syncing to cloud. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Also in copilot she doesn’t show the work/web tab at the top.


Thanks for any suggestions as even all the suggestions I was given in copilot didn’t help

Reddit Sysadmin

Is it me or are you finding the new generation of techs have little to no troubleshooting skills?

We are mainly a windows shop. I always hope when new positions are filled they know the basics.

1. Basic commands in command prompt.
2. How to open a log file at the very least.
3. At least heard of sysprep.

Why am I constantly disappointed? Tell me your stories of disappointment to cheer me up please
